INDIAN HISTORY 

As has already been seen, the Indians plaved a very 
important part in the early history of the town. The phys- 
ical advantages of the location, their burial place on Lane's 
Island, and the importance of the place to them from its 
situation in relation to other towns, lead the Indians to 
resist the advance of the whites with a hostility more indom- 
itable and deadly than they exhibited towards most other 
settlements in the state. Owing to this, the lands Id the 
interior continued to be laid waste and the inhabitants, 
though living near together, were often obliged to forsake 
their dwellings. Husbands and fathers were killed and 
wives and children carried into captivity. Compelled to 
carr^' arms in their walks, their labors and their worship, 
the inhabitants said: "There is no peace to him that goeth 
out nor to him that cometh in. We get our bread at the 
peril of our lives because of the sword of the wilderness." 
Mr. William Scales, father of Deacon Thomas and Matthew 



6 HISTORICAL 

Scales, was killed in the year 1725 on the Scales farm, and 
soon after Joseph Felt, father of Mrs. Peter Weare, was 
killed at Broad Cove, Felt's wife and children were carried 
into captivity and afterwards redeemed by Capt Weare. 
Joseph Weare, a grandson of Felt, never lost an opportu- 
nity to be revenged on the Indians. Several stories told 
concerning him, the truth of which the writer would not 
vouch for, are quoted from "01^ Times." Weare once lived 
near the bank of the Androscoggin river at Lewiston Falls. 
In some way he learned that a war party had planned to 
descend the river one dark night and attack the settlers in 
that vicinity. In order to prevent getting too near the falls 
in the darkness, they sent one of their number down the 
river to build a fire on the island some way above the falls. 
After nightfall Weare surprised and killed the sentinel, ex- 
tinguished the fire, and built another on the island just at 
the head of the falls, now known locally as Island Garden. 
The Indians, feeling secure as long as they were above the 
beacon light were caught in the rapids before they realized 
their danger and were carried over the falls to death. On 
another occasion Weare was splitting rails near his home 
when six Indians approached him and asked if he could tell 
them where Joe Weare lived, to which question the quick- 
witted old scout replied in the affirmative and offered to 
show them the person they sought as soon as he had finished 
splitting the log on which he was then at work. When "Joe" 
had driven in his wedge and had the log well opened he asked 
the Indians to help him by pulling on each side as he drove 
the wedge; to this the party agreed and took hold, three on 



HISTORICAL 7 

each side, with their fingers in the crack of the log, when 
Weare, by a dexterous blow of the sledge, knocked out the 
wedge causing the seam to close like a vice upon their hands 
and leaving them at the mercy of their terrible enemy, who 
as he gave each a death blow^ with his axe shouted in theears 
of his victims: "I'm Joe Weare, d you, I'm Joe Weare." 

The hostility of Weare towards the Indians was never 
abated. He sw^ore to kill one for every drop ot blood they 
drew from the veins of his brother-in-law. 

Philip Greely, ancestor of the Greely family of this sec- 
tion, and of Portland, was killed Aug. 9, 1746, at the lower 
Falls, near the house of the late Mr. Daniel True, when a 
company of thirty-two Indians had secreted themselves 
intending to surprise Weare's garrison when the men should 
have gone to work. They w^ere discovered by Mr. Greely 's 
dog, else they had probably suffered him to T)ass unmolested. 
Though Mr. Greely lost his life, this probably saved the gar- 
rison. 

It was in a skirmish with the savages that Walter Gend- 
all, one of the bravest and foremost men of the early days 
was slain by a shot through the body. Separated from his 
men by the river he suddenly noticed that they ceased firing, 
and by their signal he knew that their ammunition was 
exhausted and that they were at the mercy of the savages. 
Against the entreaties of his wife and family he determined 
to risk the chance of death, by crossing the open river to 
save his men. He managed to get safely by the middle of 
the stream, but as the boat touched shore he received a 
bullet in the body and immediately expired, having only 



8 HISTORICAL 

time to throw the ammunition ashore and say: "I have lost 
my life in 3'our service." The party were now enabled to 
maintain their ground till night came on when the Indians 
retreated. 

On Saturday, May 4th, 1756, a large party of Indians 
appeared at Topsham, where they separated, one party to 
go to New Meadows, and the other to North Yarmouth. 
The latter party, at day-break, on Sabbath morning, 
assaulted the house of Mr, Thomas Maines, at Flying Point, 
now Freeport, which, though well fortified, they finally 
entered. John Martin was in the chamber of the house with 
a loaded gun, but not being able in the darkness to find it, 
kept himself concealed. Mr. Maines, his wife and children, 
and a sister of Mrs. Maines, Miss Skinner by name, were 
draggedfrom the house, and Mr. Maines shot near by; mean- 
while Mrs. Maines and the children succeeded in regaining the 
house and fastening the door. A ball Irom the gun of an 
Indian entered the house and was fatal to an infant in the 
arms of Mrs. Maines. At length the Indians again entered 
the dwelling, but Martin, pointing his gun, which he had 
found, through the chamber floor, dropped one of them in 
the entry; retaining the sister of Mrs. Maines and bearing 
away their wounded man they hastily departed. Mr. Maines 
is said to have been the last inhabitant of the town to be 
killed by the natives. These are only a few typical illustra- 
tions of the warfare that was continually raging. 

To summarize the Indian wars which bore directly on 
the history of ancient North Yarmouth: In 1675 the Indians 
began a war of extermination, and the settlers were obliged 



HISTORICAL 9 

to abandon their homes which were pillaged and burned. 
After three years, peace was made and the inhabitants 
returned to their desolate homes. 

In 1688 there was another outbreak. The saw mills 
were burned and many inhabitants butchered. Forced to 
abandon their homes the second time the few surviving set- 
tlers removed to Jewell's Island and built a fort there to 
protect themselves until they could return to Massachusetts. 

Soon after the breaking out of the war between France 
and England in 1744 hostilities were resumed, and for sev- 
eral years the savages sought the destruction of the English 
settlers. 

The old redoubt on Prince's Point behind which is a 
grass covered lawn succeeded by a beautiful grove was the 
annual resort of the Indians in the early days. The high 
bank to the left of the redoubt is for many rods composed of 
shells intermixed with soil which is the accumulation of these 
annual feasts. To the right the falling bank occasionally 
discloses an Indian skeleton showing this bank to have been 
to them the place of burial for their dead, and the feasts 
were probably held to the departed warriors. 



10 HISTORICAL 



FIRST SETTLEMENT. 

The capacious bay adjacent, its fine harbors and numer- 
ous islands, its small but valuable river, fish, p;ame, and a 
bountiful supply of timber favorably situated for exporta- 
tion, early invited white settlers to No. Yarmouth. The 
town of No. Yarmouth was settled in 1680. It was origi- 
nally called Wescustogo, the Indian name for Royal River. 
But at its incorporation, which was the same year as its set- 
tlement, its name was changed to North Yarmouth. 

FIRST PURCHASE OF LAND. 

As early as 1640, Geo. Felt, born in 1600, lived in a 
stone garrison at Broad Cove on land which he purchased of 
John Phillips, a Welchman, who had probably before occu- 
pied it, and which in 1643 he repurchased of an agent of Sir 
Ferdinando Gorges, proprietor of Maine. 

About the same period William Royal, who came from 
England, was living on a farm on the east side of the river 
which bears his name. John Cousins as early as 1637 was 
living near the neck of land dividing the branches of Cousins 
River, and a little later (1645) purchased the island which 
bears his name. 

Other inhabitants at an early period were Richard Bray, 
who, in 1647, bought oae half of Cousins Island; James 
Lane; John Maine, on Maine Point; John Holman on Hol- 
man's (Princes Point); Thos. Reading on east side Cousins 



HISTORICAL 11 

River; Thomas Wise, Thomas Shepherd, Nicholas White, 
Thomas Blashfield, Amos Stevens, and Walter Gendall. The 
settlement steadily grew and in 1674 a man by the name of 
Sayward erected the first saw mill at the lower falls on the 
east side of the river. 

The settlement had now existed for a period of from 30 
to 40 years. About 1675 King Philip's war commenced, 
when the inhabitants fled to the westerly towns where they 
could be defended, and the mill recently erected and most of 
the dwellings were burned. 

SECOND OCCUPATION. 

Peace was again concluded at Falmouth, April, 1678, 
and the inhabitants, many of whom survived, began to 
return to their deserted homes. Walter Gendall purchased 
the tract of land on which H. Sayward had formerly built a 
saw mill, and rebuilt the structure. A brisk business was 
carried on. One half the mill rented for 50,000 feet of mer- 
chantable boards per annum. Acorn mill was now erected 
at the lower falls, and Gendall had a dwelling house on the 
east side of the river Royal, near his mills, and one of rude 
construction for his men on the opposite shore. 

This takes us up to 1680, when the town was incorpor- 
ated under the name of No. Yarmouth. A committee con- 
sisting of B. Gedney, Walter Gendall, Joshua Scotton and 
Silvanus Davis were appointed to superintend the laying out 
of the town. Under their direction the town was laid out on 
a spot then known as Maine's Point. 

The committee above named was soon superceded by the 



12 HISTORICAL 

appointment of John Eoyal, John York, John Harris, and 
Walter Gendall as trustees of the town, and at a town meet- 
ing in Feb. 1685, grants of land were made to a large num- 
ber of the inhabitants. 

The families were now about 36 in number, located chiefly 
along the river and sea shore. They had now enjoyed a ten 
years period of peace and prosperity. The Indians had not 
molested them and they had not only repaired the havoc 
wrought by King Philip's war, but had made some advance. 

In 1688 the little colony of hardy settlers, now number- 
ing 160, was doomed to another disaster in the breaking out 
of King William's war. The Indians poured in upon them, 
and those who survived betook themselves to Jewell Island 
and thence to Boston. 

THIRD SETTLEMENT. 

No attempt was made to repeople the town until 1713 
when the town had been desolate for about twenty-five years 
and the traces of habitation had almost been obliterated. 
But finally the sons, the grandsons, and a few of the old 
inhabitants, came back to the ashes of the former habita- 
tions. 

The settlement slowly revived and in 1722 the popula- 
tion was about 100. During that year, at the petition of 
the inhabitants and other claimants of the possessions in 
No. Yarmouth, the general court appointed a committee 
consisting of William Taylor, Elisha Cook, William Dudley, 
John Smith and John Powell to superintend the settlement. 

This committee directed the afi'airs of the settlement 



HISTORICAL 13 

until 1733, when they proposed to the General Court that 
they be dismissed and that the settlement have the rights 
and privileges enjoyed by other towns. This proposal was 
agreed to and a town meeting was at once called and regular 
town officers chosen. 

The growth of the town was slow, due largely to the con- 
tinual wars with the Indians. After 1760 the Indians became 
less troublesome and people began to venture back three 
and four miles from the salt water, and the population of 
the town rapidly increased. The rest from wars, however, 
was soon interrupted by the war of the Revolution. The 
inhabitants of the town engaged with one voice in opposing 
the earlist acts of aggression by Great Britain. 

At an early meeting on the 20th of May previous to the 
Declaration of Independence the citizens voted that "Should 
the Honourable Congress for the safety of the united Colo- 
nies declare them independent of the kingdom of Great Brit- 
ain that inhabitants of this town do solemnly engage with 
their lives and fortunes to support Congress in the measure." 

After the war was over, and the work at the mills and on 
thefarms once more in progress the town made rapid strides 
in population and prosperity. Ship building became a 
prominent industry and later a cotton mill was erected. 
The business comprised six stores, saw, grist, fulling, card 
and paper mills, jewelry, clocks, cabinets, saddle, chaise and 
wagon shops, and three blacksmith shops. Two tanneries, 
brick yard, ship yard, two taverns and a busy stage line.

INCORPORATION 

The earliest bounds of the ancient town of Westcustogo, 
or North Yarmouth, were, "beginning at the sea coast, at a 
white rock, adjoining Falmouth, N. W., eight miles, then N. 
E. about eleven miles, until intersected by a line running N. 
W. from the mouth of the Bungonug river and from the 
white rock and the mouth of the river, to extend S. E. to 
thesea." By these lines Mare Point, Merriconeag,Chebeague, 
and alarge number of minor islands, and Small Point at the 
mouth of the Kennebec river, were included within the limits 
of this venerable mother. 

Mare Point was set ofi to Brunswick in 1739 and Small 
Point to Georgetown in 1741. Merriconeag and the islands 
adjacent were incorporated as Harpswell in 1758. Freeport 
was set off and incorporated a town in 1789 (this town then 
included Pownal and was called "Harrisickett")- Cumber- 
land was set off and incorporated in 1821 and Yarmouth in 
1849. This town is now a small township removed from 
the coast, but she is proud of her thrifty and enterprising 
children. 

The town of Cumberland was set off for the convenience 
of its citizens. They were far removed from the center of 
the town, which was then of considerable extent, and peti- 
tioned for their separation, in the spring of 1820. 

The following is a list of petitioners for a new town:

MILITARY MATTERS 

The military history of the towns of Cumberland and 
North Yarmouth is a source of just pride. If one thing 
more than another is to be revered and commemorated, 
impressed upon the minds of the rising generation, that 
thing is the record of names and deeds of men who faced 
the dangers of the battlefield for the welfare and safety of 
the country. Time rolls on and we are apt to forget the 
value of the service rendered by the soldier in war. Each 
succeeding generation is more forgetful of these things than 
its predecessor unless it is taught to revere and love the 
memory of the deeds of the soldier. It should be in the 
mind of each father and each mother to instill into the mind 
of the youth the significance of the inscriptions, "Killed at 
Gettysburg," "Wounded at Vicksburg,'' "died in Libby 
Prison," etc. No one should lose the opportunity to im- 



HISTORICAL 23 

press upon the generation to which he belongs and the one 
which follows the responsibility which rests upon each man. 

It is with pleasure that we attempt to give the names of 
those who have served in the armies of the United States 
from these towns. 

The following list of soldiers from the town of Cumber- 
land has been compiled from the Maine Adjutant General's

SCHOOL ITEMS 

We cannot do better than to cast a glance toward the 
typical common school as known in Maine in the early days. 
Even as soon as our forefathers, almost invariably of Puri- 
tan extraction, had located themselves in the forests ol the 
Pine Tree State and began their efforts of erecting churches, 
they made provision for the common school. They in com- 
mon with us of today considered education the bulwark of 
our institutions, the institutions for the establishment of 
which they had fought and bled. They knew therefore, bet- 
ter than we, how much depended upon the proper guidance 
of the newly established government. They saw their liber- 
ties and property, we had almost said, wrapt up in the future 
of the new government which Washington had said was "one 



26 HISTORICAL 

today and thirteen tomorrow." Is it a strange thing that 
these people who so well understood the significance of these 
trying j'ears, should so thoroughly' grasp at the thought 
that in the education of the masses lay their only hope of 
ultimate success? No, they saw well their duty, and as pio- 
neers prepared to meet it. A room in the little log cabin 
became the university of the wilderness and humble as was 
this first effort, mighty results came from it. From out of 
these rough, low-roofed structures walked men who were 3^et 
to meet the representatives of the courts of Europe, in the 
battlefield, in diplomac}^, and in scores of other capacities 
from which they were emerged unscathed. This system of 
education went on till it almost became a necessary thing 
for a man to reach the president's chair that he be able to 
present a career begun in "The Little Red Schoolhouse" in 
the backwoods hamlet. It was not that the people loved 
wealth and culture less, but that they loved the more the 
homely virtues inspired by the healthy atmosphere of the 
country. And as we look back today over the progress of 
our school system we dwell with pride upon the record it has 
made. But this system, like all others, was expected to ad- 
vance and it has advanced. The town of North Yarmouth, 
in common with other towns, reared the homely structures 
on the hillsides and at the cross roads, hired male teachers 
at $10 to f 15 a month, and female teachers at 75 cents to 
f 1.50 a week and this with the "Board Round" provision. 

The development of the public schools of the towns of 
Cumberland and North Yarmouth has been one of steady 
growth and advancement. The cause of education was 



HISTORICAL 27 

greath^ assisted in 1858 by the establish iiieut of Greely In- 
stitute, which succeeded the temporary, local high school, 
and has given to the town an advanced institution of learn- 
ing which provides for its children an opportunity of lay- 
ing the foundation for a college course, or of fitting for 
normal work. 

The Chebeague Island high school was opened in April 
1902 for the purpose of giving to the young men and women 
of this isolated locality the same privileges and possibilities 
of obtaining an education as are enjoyed by those in more 
favored localities. This school opened with 27 students and 
has made very satisfactory advancement. 

The town of Cumberland has a school fund of over 
$1300 which produces a sufficient dividend each year to 
assist very materially in supporting her town schools. 

GREELY INSTITUTE 

Greely Institute was founded by Hon. Eliphalet Greely, 
a native of the town, who bequeathed .|7,000 to erect a 
building, 120,000 as a fund for its support, and |1,000 to 
purchase a library. The selectmen of the to^Yn are ex- 
officio trustees. The principals of this Institute have been: 
Thomas J. Emery, 1867-68; Chas. Chamberlain, Isaac 
Quimby, George M. Seiders, W. H. Heramingway, John M. 
Hawkes, Chas. T. Hawes, D. B. Fuller, S. K. Hitchings, W. 
A. Hoyt, F. E. Parlin, H. N. Dunham, Wilson Nevens, Fair-

Everett Peacock, A. B., S. M. Hamlin, H. H. Randall, A. B., 



28 HISTORICAL 

H. H. Williams, aod Clarence W. Pierce. Special mention 
should be made of the work of Prof. Fairfield Whitney, who 
remained in the school lor several years and was a popular 
and successful instructor. The school has always done f^ood 
work, and many of its g;raduates have filled positions of 
trust and honor. 



INDUSTRIAL ACCOUNT 

SHIP BUILDING 

Naturally ship building was an early occupation since 
this was one of the things that was necessary to the early 
settlement. But it was not long before this became an im- 
portant commercial industry and the town of North Yar- 
mouth is known to have early held a large interest in navi- 
gation and shipbuilding, and ably supported the valued rep- 
utation gained by her early workmen. 

Yarmouth vessels were noted for their thorough con- 
struction, their graceful models and their superior sailing- 
qualities. With its unrivaled facilities for constructing and 
floating vessels this industry was one of the mosb profitable 
and substantial sources of wealth to the place. 

These vessels were built not only at the water's edge but 
back in the vicinity of Walnut Hill and elsewhere, in the 
very midst of the growing timber. They were then hauled 



HISTORICAL 29 

by oxen in the winter down to the Falls, perhaps a distance 
of five or six miles, and deposited upon the ice in the river, 
or upon its shores, ready for the "Spring Openino;." Samuel 
Chase is said to have built several crafts in the vicinity of 
Walnut Hill. What was probably the last vessel built there 
was a craft of 40 or 50 tons which was hauled in the spring 
of 1843. 

The old ship 3'ards of Cumberland, where several of the 
older residents worked at shipbuilding-, are remembered by 
many of younger generatious. W^e find mention of two 
brigs, the " N. M. Haven" of 405.98 tons was built in 1863, 
and the "Woodside," 609.31 tons in 1866. "The Grape 
Shot," which made one of the swiftest trips around Cape 
Horn that is on record was also built here. 

PRESENT-DAY INDUSTRIES 

The mercantile industries now followed by the citizens of 
Cumberland and North Yarmouth are varied, and are often 
of a different nature than those which claimed the attention 
of preceeding- generations. There are yet a half dozen saw 
mills and one or two grist mills where formerly there were 
two or three times that number, and the manufacture of 
"shook" and staves is now nearly discontinued. Ship build- 
ing- is but a memory, and a source of just pride to the ven- 
ei-able citizens who, during the days of their 3^outh, and 
young- manhood, worked twelve hours each day at the stern 
labor which produced the sailing craft that was recognized 
abroad as of the best constructed anywhere on the Maine 
coast— or on the Globe. 



30 HISTORICAL 

The fertile farms, which, extending- some distance back 
from the coast, have the peculiar distinction of being "rock- 
less", are generally well cultivated and repay the farmers b}^ 
producing good crops of hay, potatoes, corn, grain and 
garden truck. The soil in the east is a clayey loam, and 
except for trequent erosions is generally level. In the west 
the surface is somewhat broken by granite ledges. Ha}" and 
potatoes are shipped by railroad — of which these towns 
have exceptional accommodations— and many acres of sweet 
corn are planted for the canning factory. 

But farming is not now confined to agriculture, for hor- 
ticulture, stock raising and dairying, poultry farming and 
even trout farming have become of considerable commercial 
importance. These we will take up more full}' later. 

On Chebeague and the other islands the citizens are 
generally interested in fishing or are in the Government 
employ. Many of the Islanders are expert and skilled stone 
masons whose regular work is the construction of light- 
houses or breakwaters, generally for the V. S. Government. 
The fishermen are generally thrifty and prosperous, and 
partake of that hearty good nature characteristic of a fish- 
ing community. 

In detail, — the sawmills which are now in operation are 
Hollis Mountford's, L. H. Wilson's and O. S. Thomes', in 
Cumberland, and Isaac E. Hayes in North Yarmouth. 

Mr Mountford's saw and grist mill is at West Cumber- 
land on the brook which is the outlet of Goose pond. When 
Mr. Montford purchased the site about 40 years ago it was 
occupied by an old grist mill. He built a new mill and in- 



HISTORICAL 31 

creased the water power bj improving- the dam. There was 
a cardino: mill located south of the bridoe, near Mr. Mount- 
ford's mill. The carding mill was run by a Mr. Purvis. 
"Grau<imother Wilson" as she is called, living- at West Cum- 
berland, says she distinctly remembers going there to get 
the wool carded, and spinning there. This mill has entirely 
crumbled to decay and its site is now overgrown. 

Mr. L. H. Wilson's mill on the samestream is on the site 
of an old saw mill which was owned and run by many of 
the farmers in the neighborhood, each running a certain 
length of time each season, or until he had got out enough 
lumber for his own use. The old mill was purchased about 
1875 by Mr. Wilson and used as a saw, stave, and grist mill. 
Mr. 0. S. Thomes runs a steam saw and grist mill at Cum- 
berland Center. This was established by Mr. Thomes about 
20 years ago. 

There is also an old stave and shook mill located on Cold 
Water Stream. This was built by Levi H. Morrill, the pres- 
ent owner, in 1851 or '55. The last business done here was 
about 10 years ago; at that time, Mr. Morrill and his son 
did (|uite an extensive business manufacturing corn cases. 

The canning factory, located at Cumberland Junction, 
was established in 1881, by ]\Ierrill Brothers. A few years 
later it was sold to Wm. R. Wood, of Portland, who is the 
present proprietor, but runs the business as The United 
Packers. The capacity is 8000 cans per day. Corn is can- 
ned extensively, but other vegetables and fruit are handled. 
While under the management of Merrill Bros, meat was also 
canned. 



32 HISTORICAL 

Poultry farming has become one of the leading industries 
of this locality, being followed by many of the enterprising 
farmers, among whom we would mention Shaw Bros. (Win- 
field and Edgar), Samuel and George Porter, R. H. Ander- 
son, Levi Morrill and Geo. Hall, in Cumberland; Gardiner 
Leighton, Fred Merrill and J. F. Mountford at Walnut Hill; 
and Nathaniel Shurtleff, Harry Dolloff and Sidney Leighton, 
all in North Yarmouth. White Wyandottes, Plymouth 
rocks and Rhode Island reds are the principal breeds kept. 
Many eggs are shipped for hatching. Shaw Bros.' poultry 
business was established at the old Shaw homestead at West 
Cumb. in 1895. They winter about 600 hens and hatch from 
1000 to 2000 chicks each season. This is not the largest 
establishment in town, but we cite it as a typical one. Many 
others whose names we have not mentioned here are also 
giving considerable attention to this valuable industry. 

There are in Cumberland four large greenhouse plants 
which are doing a big business for the wholesale trade. In 
1888, Chase Brothers erected their first houses at the old 
homestead. This was the beginning of the industry. In 
1893 they dissolved and Arno established his large plant at 
the Center. He now has 10,000 feet of glass. Frank Chase, 
the other brother, began a new plant near the old one, mov- 
ing the old greenhouses, and now has about 8,000 ft. of glass. 
C. H. Jenkins established his houses in 1900 and has around 
6,000ft. and Howard C. Blanchard, who built his houses last 
year, has over 4,000 ft. of glass. 

These florists give their attention almost exclusively to 
carnations, which find a readv market in most of the cities 



HISTORICAL 33 

of INfaine, especially Portland, Augusta and Lewiston. 

The industry that we shall mention last, not because it 
is least deserving* of mention, but because it was the last 
"special" to be taken up, is trout farming. Two years ago 
Mr. Wm. H. Rowe created Roland and Rowe's ponds by 
building successive dams across the valley of Millbrook 
stream on his farm. This stream has its sources in numer- 
ous and powerful springs on the same farm, which fact gives 
Mr. Rowe entire control of the flow. He is now building a 
stone dam farther down stream for the purpose of making 
another, to be called Red Rock pond. If stories relating to 
fish are to be believed these ponds are stocked with over 
5000 trout, and one 13J4 inches long was taken out not long- 
since by a gentleman who appreciates a good haul. The 
fishing is let out "by the pound" and is found to be as lively 
as that for which many disciples of Walton take long jaunts 
into the wilderness. 



CHURCH AFFAIRS 

CONGREGATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS 

"The Old Meeting house by the Ledge" which was erected 
before the town of North Yarmouth was formed in 1730, was 
the tenth church to be organized in the territory now form- 
ing the state of Maine. This organization was for many 
years the leading power, and this edifice the seat of govern- 
ment for the early township. 

After the dana'cr from Indians became nominal the set- 



C3 



34 HISTORICAL 

tiers began to move back from the shore and to establish tor 
themselves homes in the heretofore unbroken wilderness. 
Nor did they foro-et theii' devotion to God, for we find that 
the Congregational churches of both Cumberland and Wal- 
nut Hill, were formed by these pioneers. 

The first daughter of the mother church was formed at 
Harpswell, in 1753, and the second in Freeport, in 1789. 
The third was the cliurcli at Cumberland Center. This 
church had its origin in a revival. Many who had not been 
interested in the church became its at-tive supporters. In 
1791, $100 was raised "to settle the gospel in the north- 
west part of the town." A Mr Gregg, and also a Mr. Porter, 
were employed to preach alternately at "Tuttle Road," as 
Cumberland Center was then designated, and at Walnut Hill, 
now North Yarmouth. For some reason, neither of these 
candidates remained permanently. In October, 1792, Mr. 
Itufus Anderson, a native of Londonderry, N. H., and a grad- 
uate of Dartmouth, began to preach alternately at these two 
])laces. 

Previous to this, however, a move had been made to 
build a meeting house at "Tuttle Road" and the house was 
erected during the summer of 1792. The "pew ground" had 
been sold to the members. Ou January 7, 1793, twenty- 
nine owners in the house met and formed themselves into a 
"proprietary," or company, "to carry on and finish the new 
meeting house now standing." The house does not seem to 
have been finished until 1798. This edifice stood nearly on 
the site of the present one. It was nearly square, with a hip 
roof and a, modest steeple on the central })oint. It was pro- 



HISTORICAL 35 

vided with <z,alleries around three sides of the iuterior. The 
pews were square, after the fashion of those days. 

As soon as the new house of worship was up, and long 
beforeitvvas finished, a new church organization wasformed. 
Twenty male members of the first church, having obtained a 
dismission for that purpose, together with Rev. Tristram 
Giiman, pastor of the First Church, and Mr. Anderson, met 
on Sept. yd, 1793, at the home of INIr. Bethuel Wood, in 
what is now North Yarmouth and organized "The Second 
Congregational Chuich in No Yarmouth.'' Bntit wasfound 
necessary to incorporate a parish, which was done in 1794, 
and the society including Walnut Hill district received the 
name of '"The Northwest Congregational Society of North 
Yarmouth." There was no meeting house at Walnut Hill, 
though the frame of one had been raised, but regular services 
were held in the "Great School House." 

Rev. Mr. Anderson served the parish until Oct , 1804, 
when he was dismissed. During his pastorate he had received 
80 members into the church. It was his hands that planted 
the noble elms now* overshadowing the village streets. These 
stand as visible tokens of his love and f]delit3\ 

The church was for several years without a pastor. In 
180G many of its members were dismissed to unite with oth- 
ers in forming the Walnut Hill church. Since this time these 
two organizations have been separate, but have ever been 
on the most cordial terms. On Oct. 22, 1806, Rev. Amasa 
Smith was installed pastor. His work was especiall}^ suc- 
cessful and he remained with the church until May 1, 1820, 
when he was dismissed at his own request. 



36 HISTORICAL 

In 1820, Maine having become a state, and Cumberland 
about to be incorporated, the name of this chiircli was aojain 
changed to "The Congregational Church of Cumberland." 

Mr. Joseph P. Fessenden preached for some time follow- 
iag Mp. Smith's dismissal, but did nob become pastor. Rev. 
Samuel Stone was the next pastor, being installed May 9, 
1821, and remained until Nov. 21,1829. Rev. Isaac Weston 
succeeded him in 1830. The next summer the people wor- 
shipped in a new barn, the meeting house having been taken 
down to be rebuilt. The present meeting house was erected 
during the summer, and dedicated Nov. 8 (1831). Rev.T.S. 
Perry, in his Historical Address delivered at the one hun- 
dredth anniversary celebration of this church, said "It Avas 
not a spirituous, but a spiritual inspiration which animated 
its builders." At the raising of the frame the church was 
consecrated by prayer before a timber was lifted, and, con- 
trary to custom, no liquor was passed around. Under Mr. 
Weston's care there was an unprecedented religious awaken- 
ing. In 1832, the church attained its greatest numerical 
strength, having then 238 members. Mr. Weston was dis- 
missed at his own request, June 10, 1840, alter a long and 
very successful pastorate. He labored in other fields, but 
returned to Cumberland where he died June 20, 1870, at 83 
years of age. 

Rev. Joseph Blake was the next pastor, serving for a 
long period of years. During the early days of his pastorate, 
the present parsonage was built. This is a large and well 
constructed brick house, and was considered, when com- 
pleted, to be the best house in town. The shade trees along 



HISTORICAL 37 

the street front, and in other public places, were set by him, 
and many fruit trees on the parsonage lot. In 1859, he 
was succeeded by Rev. Ebenezer S. Jordan. He received 
about 44 new members on confession ot faith. Soon after 
his coming: the meeting house was remodeled at an expense 
of 11500, a pipe organ procured, costing |1000 to $1200 
and the bell purchased and hung. He remained until 1870. 
His successors, with the dates of their arrival and dismissal 
have been as follows: Rev. Uriah Small, 1870-71; Rev. G. 
B. Richardson, 1871-74; Rev. T. S. Perry, 1874-86; Rev. 
E. S. Jordan preached again for two years, 1886-88; Rev. 
Dan'l Green, 1888-92; Rev. Frank W. Davis, 1892— 
remained until about five years ago, when the present pas- 
tor. Rev. P. E. Miller, accepted the care of the church. The 
church is in a prosperous condition. The present member- 
ship is 126, 48 males and 78 females. There is a successful 
Christian Endeavor Society of about 20 active members. 
The Sunday School has about 150 members, with an aver- 
age attendance of about half that number. 

In 1885, Union Hall was given to the parish by Mr. Oren 
S. Thomas, to be used as a vestry — a very generous, timely 
and useful gift. Improvements have been made from time 
to time on the church edifice. It is now a comfortable and 
convenient place of worship and a venerable landmark, a 
testimony to the faith of our fathers and the zeal and piety 
of many successful pastors and workers. 

THE CaURCH IN NORTH YARMOUTH 

During the year 1794, the meeting house was built at 
Walnut Hill, in what is now North Yarmouth. The arrange- 



38 HISTORICAL 

ment of one church and one parish oro^anization with two 
preaching places, here and at the Tuttle Road, continued till 
the year 1806, when a new parish was formed at Walnut 
Hill. On September 30, 1800, a church was instituted com- 
posed of eight male members, coming by letter from the 
First Church in North Yarmouth, and six from the Second 
Church. Soon after, fifteen female members from the two 
parent churches were added by letter, together with quite a 
large accession upon confession of faith; and, as the early 
history tells us, "the new church presented a flourishing 
aspect." Rev. John Button was installed pastor upon the 
day of its organization. This church is now denominated 
The Congregational Church of North Yarmouth, Maine. 

The first meeting house, built in 1704, was taken down 
and the present edifice erected in 1827 and extensively 
repaired in 1878. The vestry, upon an adjoining lot, was 
erected about the year 1807, by the Ladies' Aid Society, and 
with the lot, was deeded to the parish in 1879. The parson- 
age, consisting of a house and stable with three acres of til- 
lage land, was the property and residence of the fifth pastor 
of the church— Rev. Caleb Hobart, who just before his 
decease, conveyed it to the parish as a home for succeeding 
ministers. 

The following is the list of ministers who have served 
this church, as published in its manual in the year 1900: 

John Button, installed Oct. 1, 1806, to Aug. 8, 1814; 
Timothy Hilliard, 1815, to 1816; O. C. Whitton, Sept. 29,

METHODIST ORGANIZATIONS 

WEST CUMBERLAND M. E. CHURCH 

The church edifice now occupied by the Methodist soci- 
ety in the western part of Cumberland, was built in 1812 as 
a Uuion Meeting House. This was occupied lor several 
years by different denominations, each furnishiug their own 
preacher at their stated time. A class was formed in 1813, 
and in 1826 the present Methodist society was organized, 
and since that time, has never been without a preacher, 
though not always having a regular pastor. The parish 
has been united at different times with several of those sur- 
rouuding, in maintaining a pastor, and is now united with 
the church at South Gray. The parsonage which stands in 
North Falmouth, just across the Cumberland line, was built 
while Rev, J. S. Rice was pastor in 1844; this is the property 



40 HISTORICAL 

of the parish and is an acceptable home for the pastor in 
charge. The church was rebuilt in 1848. 

The lollovving is a list of those who have served the 
church as pastors or local preachers since 1844, at which 
time Rev. Mr. Rice came to the church. In 1845-G, J.

CUMBERLAND AND FALlSrOTJTH M. 10. CHURCH 

The two societies near the Foreside, which are united 
under one pastor, were included in the Falmouth and Cum- 
berland Circuit, under the care of Rev. J. Taylor, a 
local preacher. In 1842 Rev. Phineas Higgins was 
stationed here and these two became a separate charge. 
The church at Cumberland was erected about 1882. The 
one located on the town line, at Falmouth Foreside, so 
called, was erected about 1881. Previous to occupying 
these buildings the services were held in the local school- 
houses. The new, neat-looking, little church, previously 
mentioned, was built during the pastorate of Rev. Eleazar 
Hutchinson, who remained with the church for three years. 

The following is a list of those who have had charge of 
this circuit: Phineas Higgins, A. J, Webster, Joseph Hawkes,

succeeded by Reverends, W. P. Merrill, (). S. Pillsbury, A. R. 
Sylvester, Chas. Pearson, Rev. Mr. Greenhalge, Daniel R, 
Ford, W. T. Chapman, John B. Howard, E. W. Kenniston 
and F. K, Beem, the present pastor. 

CHEBEAGUE ISLAND M. E. CUUHCH 

Rev. Edward M. Whittle came to Long Island in 1808, 
and preached on the Island and on Chebeague for a time. 
Mr. Stephen Bennett was converted under his preaching, and 
himself became a local preacher. Mr. Bennett preached for 
many years on Chebeague and other islands of the bay. 

In 1828, Rev. James Carrutliers, a Congregational mis- 
sionary, was sent to the islands. A great revival followed 
his preaching. In May of the same year, Moses Rollins, a 
Methodist preacher, came to Chebeague. Under the earnest 
labors of these three ministers, most of the people on the 
Islands were converted. In 1829, Jonas Weston and David 
Hill, came to Chebeague, and preached for a time. In the 
fall of 1889, Richard Lombard came here and remained two 
years. Up to this time the Island had been connected with 
Freeport. 

In 1840, the Islands were formed into a Mission, called 
"Casco Bay Islands Mission," and supplied, most of the 
time, by preachers Irom Conference. In 1855, a meeting 
house was erected. A disagreement occurred in regard to 
the location, and afaction withdrew and built another house 
of worship, organizing a Protestant Methodist Society. 
Since that time the old society has been regularly supplied. 



42 HISTORICAL 

In 1885-6, under the pastorate of Rev. John Collins, an 
excellent parsonage was erected. In 1866, the total mem- 
bership was 129. 

Those who have served this church as pastors since 1879 
are: Alpha Turner, 1879-80; Alvah Cook, 1881-82; True 

Whittier, 1883-4; John Collins, 1885-6; ; James 

Wria;ht, 1889-93; A. C. Trafton, 1894-98; Francis Grove- 
nor, 1899-1900; F. K. Beem, 1901; W. B. Eldridge, 1902-4. 

EAST NORTH YARMOUTH M. E. CHURCH 

The records of the early Methodist Episcopal Church in 
North Yarmouth have been destroyed, thus rendering a full, 
connected account impossible. The early church here was 
connected with many surrounding stations during its his- 
tory. In 1815 the first class was formed, Israel Noyes, lead- 
er, and his seven children members. The first house of 
worship was built in 1831. In 1833 this church was con- 
nected with Freeport circuit. In 1872 North Yarmouth was 
connected with Pow^nal and South Auburn. 

In 1830 Rev. Benj. Burnham built a house and passed 
his years of superannuation here. This house was purchased 
by the Methodist society for a parsonage. Mr. Ammi Lor- 
ing, a wealthy farmer of this place, was a liberal supporter 
of this church and of every benevolent cause. He be- 
queathed about f 21,000 to Methodist institutions. 

Pastors since 1878 have been: Daniel Waterhouse, A. C. 
Trafton, Benj. F. Pease, Geo. Hoyt, W. H. Foster, J. F. 
Keith, H. A. Pease, M. K. Mabry, A. C. Brooks, T. D.Davies, 
J. H. E. Richard, James Nixon, F. Grovenor, and L. H. 
Bean, the present pastor. 

The society of Uuiversalists which occupied the old Uni- 
versalist church at West Cumberland has now become ex- 
tinct, the church edifice being used for a hall for local gath- 
erings or entertainments.

ITEMS OF INTEREST 

OLD HOME ASSOCIATION— NORTH YARMOUTH 

EDcouraged by the home-coming- of her many sons and 
daughters, of whose noble record she is justly proud, the 
town of North Yarmouth has become the home of an Old 
Home Association. This was organized August (>, 1902. 
At the last gathering, which was held at the Walnut Hill 
Church, Wednesday, August 17, 1904, was assembled many 
who have made their homes beyond the borders of their 
mother state, aud who have made for themselves places 
and names which do honor to the noble precept and example 
of their ancestry. A day of enjoyment and the renewing of 
old acquaintances was participated in by all. Dinuer was 
provided in the vestry. Auld Lang Syne was sung as the 
closing hymn, after the officers were chosen for the folio wing- 
year. We regret to say we are unable to publish the newdy 
elected officers. Those for 1903-4 were Rev. J. S. Richards, 
Pres.; Chas. L. Dunn, 1st Vice Pres.; Gardiner Leighton, 2nd 
Vice Pres:; Chas. S. Sweetser, Sec. and Treas.; Chas. A. Allen, 
Chairman Com. ou Entertainment; Clarence G. Hatch, Chair- 
man Com. on Music; C. S. Sweetser, Chairman Com. on Dec- 
orations. 

CUMBERLAND FARMER'S CLUB 

The Cumberland Farmer's Club was organized at Cumb- 
erland Center in 1868, for the purpose of advancing the in- 
terests of the surrounding agricultural section. This organ- 
ization is participated in by North Yarmouth, Yarmouth, 
Falmouth, and Windham, as well as the citizens of the im- 



44 HISTORICAL 

mediate locality. The organization was moved to West 
Cumberland soon after its organization. The exhibition 
grounds and trotting park is situated between the Center 
village and West Cumberland. The exhibition and fair is 
held for two days each season, and by its receipts, together 
with the State stipend received annually for that purpose, 
pays its expenses and the premiums, which are an important 
feature of the club. 

The present officers of the organization are: Pres. C. A. 
Merrill; Vice Pres. M. M. Burnham; Treas. N. M. Shaw; Sec. 
A. M. Crocker; Supt. of Grounds, M. M. Burnham; Supt. of 
Hall, E: L. Farwell; Marshall, S. L. Clough. 

CHEBEAGUE ISLAND STEABOAT LINES 

We have endeavored to gain some practical information regarding the 
history of the steamboat service to Chebeague Island but have been unable 
to do so. We regret the fact since that is one of the points of local history 
which we hoped to take uj).

Census, 1904 



The population ol the towns of Cumberland and North 
Yarmouth has been arranged in families where that arrange- 
ment has been possible. In these families, in addition to the 
resident living members, the names of the non-resident mem- 
bers are included. It should be borne in mind that this 
plan does not include the names of all former residents 
of this town, as the names of the non-residents appear 
only when one or both the parents are still living in the 
town. After the name of each non-resident will be found 
the present address, when such address has been given to us. 
The non-residents are indicated by the (*). 

In case a daughter in a family has married, her name 
taken in marriage will appear after her given name in paren- 
thesis ( ), preceded by a small (m). 

Following the names of the population is the occu- 
pation. To designate the occupations we have used the 
more common abbreviations and contractions. Some of 
these iollow: Farmer — far; carpenter— car; railroad ser- 
vice— R R ser; student, a member of an advanced institution 
of learning — stu; pupil, a member of a lower grade of schools
